Solvay Composite Materials Global Business Unit has the largest portfolio of thermoset and thermoplastic composites, carbon fiber, adhesive and surfacing films used to manufacture high-performance, affordable and complex structures by the aerospace, automotive and oil & gas industries.
Solvay is dedicated to accelerating the development and adoption of thermoplastics composites (TPC) through Solvay’s vertically integrated portfolio and expertise in specialty polymers (PEEK, PEKK, PVDF, PPA, PPS) and carbon fiber composites. Solvay has been a leader in thermoplastic composites for aerospace over the last 30 years with its APC PEEK, PEKK and PEI carbon fiber tapes. Solvay is now leading advances for TPC in oil and gas with its unique EvoliteTMPVDF carbon fiber solutions. Solvay offers a unique environment for experts to work side by side to accelerate innovation and successful commercial applications thanks to its leadership in application engineering.
Solvay recently opened two innovation centers dedicated to TPC: a Product Development Center in Alpharetta, USA and a Customer Engagement Centre in Brussels, BE. Our experts based at these sites work closely with the TPRC on collaborative projects.
Solvay is a Tier 1 member of the TPRC.
What do we think of our cooperation?
“Solvay’s research and innovation experts will work hand in hand with the TPRC on selected projects where we see joint benefits. Solvay and the TPRC are both committed to increasing the adoption of TPC by the aerospace and automotive industries and our membership will strengthen our ability to contribute to industry developments.”
